County Of Gloucester

County of Gloucester, New Jersey, a local government entity headquartered in Woodbury, has been registered to receive federal awards since January 2006. As a county government, the organization provides essential public services and community development initiatives across its jurisdiction and serves as a prime recipient of federal grant funding from multiple agencies. The county receives federal grant awards primarily through formula-based grant programs that support affordable housing development, community development, energy efficiency improvements, and various health and human services programs. These grants enable the county to expand its capacity to address critical community needs in affordable housing, energy conservation, public health, senior services, workforce development, and public safety.

County of Gloucester has received substantial federal grant funding across diverse program areas, demonstrating its role as a comprehensive service provider to its constituents. The county has been a consistent recipient of U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) formula grants, including the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239) and Community Development Block Grants (CDBG), with awards dating back to at least 2021 and ongoing through 2033-2034. These housing-focused grants support affordable housing development, rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, homebuyer assistance, rental housing acquisition and construction, and tenant-based rental assistance for low- and very low-income residents. Additionally, the county received a Department of Energy formula grant under the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) Program (CFDA 81.128) totaling $234,830 to implement energy efficiency and conservation projects across municipal infrastructure. Beyond direct prime awards, County of Gloucester serves as a pass-through entity for numerous subgrants administered through New Jersey state agencies, including the Department of Health, Department of Human Services, Department of Law & Public Safety, Department of Labor and Workforce Development, Department of Homeland Security & Preparedness, and New Jersey Transit Corporation. These subgrants fund critical services such as senior nutrition programs (home-delivered and congregate meals), caregiver support services, WIC services and breastfeeding peer counseling, special child health services case management, victims of crime assistance (VOCA), domestic violence services (VAWA), workforce development programs (WIOA), emergency preparedness and public health programs, demand-response transportation services, and gang violence and narcotics enforcement initiatives.
